We’re working with Foundation Scotland to support the local community with our new Carrier Bag Community Grants.

Stores in Scotland are now required to charge 5p per single-use carrier bag and we want to use this money to support good causes across the region.

We have grants of up to £2000 available for local projects that can help meet a wide range of costs for community groups, including general running costs, training, equipment, materials and even local community activities and events.

We’ve launched a new range of locally produced Scottish ciders with five delicious flavours to choose from – rolling out across 56 of our Scottish stores.

Original, Traditional, Real Strawberry, Real Ginger and Whisky Cask will all be stocked in stores from this month.

Thistly Cross is made in East Scotland on a farm that has been run by the same family for four generations. The company has doubled in size over the last year thanks to a surge in sales and employs 14 staff at its East Lothian site.

They say Mums know best – so this Mother’s Day we’re asking you to share their words of wisdom!

What’s the best piece of advice your mum ever gave you? It could be a phrase or saying that you find yourself telling your own children. Or it could be a timely or useful piece of advice that you’ve passed onto friends or other mums.

We’ve got 10 NSPA “pamper hampers” to give away this Mother’s Day – and you could win one for you or your mum. Each hamper includes luxury bath products, Beauty Rituals creams gels, scrubs, primers and much more!

Asda customer Alisha Gerrard bought these slippers from George as an early Mother’s Day present for her mum, Liz, “as they look exactly like her”!

She posted this photo on instagram and told us: "I bought the slippers for my mum after seeing them on the George website and automatically knew I had to buy them for her – it’s like they were made for her!

“My mum’s known for her blonde hair, bright lipsticks and big blue eyes and eye lashes with all of her friends, family and her work colleagues at Liverpool’s Aintree University Hospital.”
